JeffB, You probably did quite well. It looks like a near identical clone to a Borsalino "Savoy" I have. (I'd post a picture, but it would just look like your hat!) It looks like the sweat band is the older, non-reeded style, directly sewn to the crown. Also, if I'm not mistaken, you've got a "Cavanagh" edge!!!

2 Big Hats ?????

One of the true Joys of ebay is the wealth of information & the Great pictures the Seller will, sometimes, provide you. I recently bought 2 hats from the same seller on the bases of the following description and pictures of a hat shaped black Blob..

Purchase Price $11.95The hat has a beautiful whip stitch around the rim and a small canvas band around the crown. The rim is 2 1/2 inches and from the top of the crown to the bottom of the rim is approximately 6 inches. Item does not come with hat box.

Purchase price $12.68Up for bids we have a gently used Black Worth and Worth Trilby Hat. A Trilby hat is similar to a Fedora but with a Narrower brim. The brim of this hat is about 2 1/4 thick and the hat is about 6 inches tall.

Color may be off due to lighting

First, I respect both Brands and know that they have made Very Good Hats. However, I Ass-U-Me they have made cheap ones???
Anyway at these prices and Combined shipping
How wrong can I Be.......
ps: Imageshack is having problems so no pics today

This is a store-signature clone in the Stratoliner style, and a long oval to boot. It has some spots I need to get out and it could use some shaping help -- but I love it. Anybody know anything about BeaverBrook?

YAY! Somebody posting pictures of an actual hat on their own actual head. How much better is that than all those boring ebay pictures and listings?

Thank you thank you thank you PhilS.

BTW. I don't know a thing about Beaverbrook, apart from the name. The hat looks really fine though. Good one.

edit to say: arrgh. if only I typed faster this embarrassing situation would have been avoided. Anyway, the hat looks better in your photos than in the listing - which really adds nothing of any use whatsoever - apart from the price.

Politicians, ugly buildings and whores all get respectable if they last long
enough.

Mallory 6 3/4. It will need to become a 7 1/8. Did I mention it was 99 cents, plus shipping?

At least you got it for a reasonable price. My latest misadventure involved this gem:http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...TODAY.m238.lVI
It was not in good shape, and it is a size 7. Not gonna fit on my 7 3/8 noggin. Is there any recourse? Or am I stuck with a tiny hat. I paid way more than 99 cents.
